[Detection and controlling for population stratification in association studies of human complex disease].

Abstract excerpt

Case-control studies, which serve as standard design for genetic association analysis, can be the most practical and powerful approach to detect genetic polymorphisms contributing to susceptibility to complex human diseases. However, considerable concern has been expressed that this approach is prone to population stratification, which can lead to biased or spurious results. We review several methods to detect...
